      It looks like a cart - maybe one that is pulled by a bicycle or similar. very interesting

      Looks like a carriage and Father Wind that is missing parts perhaps the horses ? Makes a nice display .

      Another thought a Roman Chariot ?

      Thanks for the comments! It has only the single wheel and the bronze is much too soft and malleable for being towed behind a bike, and the 4 corner holes indicate it was to be hung. My suspicion is that maybe it contained a glass planter, formed by slumping while hot to conform to the cart's irregular shape?
